It was common back in the day for machines to ship with detailed technical documentation.
I spent many an hour as a young child reading the C64 programmers reference guide, calculating the op speed and drawing memory maps.

- SavantIdiot 5y agoWhat were you drawing memory maps for?
- radicalbyte 5y agoMainly making cheats for games. Back then you have devices which allowed you to view memory, so I would play games and look for changes made in memory when you did certain actions. Made a map of them. Most of the time a life counter was good enough. Also for my own games - you don't have pointers as such, you have your memory, and you need to know what lives where (and when it lives where).
